One hundred and thirty-five cowards in the army

"Haha... It turns out that there are guests at the General's house, but it's abrupt!

Just as we were chatting and laughing in the lobby, a hearty laughter sounded outside the door. Baili Xi had already brought Baili Susu and Xia Ran to the door of Xiang Mansion's living room. Recommended: The new work of the master Wangyu: "Six Traces: Nightmare Palace" http://www./0_3/

"It turns out that Brother Baili has arrived, and I am missing the welcome!"

Uncle and nephew Xiang Yan stood up to greet him personally, and Fan Zeng also stood up with him.

Xia Ran stood in front of the door with tactfulness, and Baili Susu greeted Xiang Yan and his son, and turned around and left with a familiarity. "My master must be practicing martial arts or reading military books in the backyard, right? I'll go find him!"

"This is Mr. Fan Zeng, a native of Chaohu, and my friend for many years."

Xiang Yan first introduced Fan Zeng to Baili Xi, and then recommended Baili Xi to Fan Zeng, "This is Doctor Baili Xi, who once served as the prime minister of Yu State and is famous all over the world!"

After the two of them bowed to each other, Baili Xi said in surprise: "I see Mr. Fan's extraordinary demeanor. I don't know where he currently holds. Why have I never seen him before?"

Fan Zeng smiled: "I am used to being idle in the clouds and wild cranes, and I can't stand these red tapes, so I failed the general's many recommendations and is still a commoner."

Xiang Yan shook his head and sighed: "Oh... Mr. Fan is a strategic man, but he refuses to become an official. Whenever I recommend him, he refuses it on the grounds of being old and weak. Look at Doctor Baili, he is already 70 years old this year, and he is still energetic and can ride a horse like flying!"

Baili Xi laughed: "Haha... I am only seventy years old, and I will be an official for another twenty years. Besides, I am just a civil servant, I just pick up my pen and go to court. When Lian Po of Zhao is also 70 years old, he can still drive three stone bows and eat ten kilograms of rice and meat. Who should I ask if we are old?"

"Brother Baili said that it seems that I am quite young, haha..." Xiang Yan, who was sixty years old, laughed and was full of energy when she heard this.

Looking at Fan Zeng, his 50-year-old father, and Baili Xi, who was seventy-year-old, Xiang Liang felt that it was so good to be young.

Xiang Yan ordered his servants to serve Bailixi tea and asked straight to the point: "Brother Baili comes to visit at night, and there must be a whole story. Please tell me it's okay."

Baili Xi took a sip of tea and said seriously: "I am really worried about it here. I received a letter from Fang Li during the day today..."

"But I want to ask Brother Baili to persuade his lord to send troops to aid the Tang Dynasty?" Xiang Yan immediately guessed the purpose of Baili Xi's arrival.

Baili Xi nodded: "That is, 100,000 Wei troops are coming to Pinglu City, and 200,000 Jin troops divide their troops to attack Jiangguan, Chiyang, and the Tang Kingdom is in danger!"

The Jin army had only four or five days of attack on the Tang Dynasty. The State of Chu had not received any news yet. Xiang Yan also looked solemn when he heard this, and he said with a beard: "I had praised Fang Li before, but it seemed that he was in big trouble this time!"

Fan Zengfuxu said: "These two allies of the Tang Kingdom, Han and Zhao, are not reliable, otherwise Fang Li would not have compiled a letter to Doctor Baili for help."

Xiang Yan put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice: "How can a tiger sleep soundly beside the bed? I think Han and Zhao didn't expect that the Tang Kingdom would develop so quickly. In just three months, the three kingdoms of Guo, Yu and Shen were combined into one. If it was not curbed, the Tang Kingdom would be worth it! It is also in line with Han and Zhao's interests. If Han Wu comes to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, would never send troops to aid Tang."

Xiang Liang interrupted, "Doctor Baili, Fang Li forced Duke Yu to abdicate, which was suspected of usurping power. You should have hated Fang Li, why did you come to ask for help for him?"

Baili Xi said: "Even if Fang Li makes mistakes, the people of Pinglu are my hometown. How can I sit and see them being ravaged by the Jin army cavalry? Besides, Fang Li gave Li Ji to Duke Chu before, and the two countries were also considered ally, and it is reasonable for Chu to send troops to rescue. I will ask the lord for help on behalf of Tang tomorrow morning, and I will also ask the general to say a few good words."

"Mr. Fan, what do you think of this matter?" Xiang Yan's eyes swept towards Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng stood up and held his fists: "Zeng is just a mountain village man, how dare you discuss national affairs?"

Xiang Yan smiled and guessed that Fan Zeng mostly was afraid of offending Baili Xi, so he was unwilling to say more. He just proposed to attack Wu as the leader and destroy Song Cizhi, so why did he dare to discuss national affairs?

"Brother Baili, Jin and Wei are both powerful people in the world, because it is important to make a war with Tang. It is not up to Xiang to decide. To report to you tomorrow morning, I will first listen to the meaning of the civil and military officials in the court. If it is necessary, I will ask the lord to send a group of troops to support Tang."

Baili Xi drank another bowl of tea, stood up and said goodbye, and took his granddaughter and Xia Ran back home in a carriage.

Baili Xi's grandson had just left, and Yu Ziqi came to Xiang's mansion. Naturally, he would not go to see Xiang Yan and his son, but went directly to the backyard to look for Xiang Yu.

After finding Xiang Yu, he explained his purpose and finally said happily: "Brother Xiang, even if Duke Chu refuses to support Tang, I have a way to let Miaoge marry you as promised. He heard that Duke Chu may appoint you as the commander of the attack on Song Dynasty. At that time, you will be divided into a small group of troops and enter the territory of Tang to support it. Even if the promise is fulfilled, Miaoge will have nothing to say."

When Xiang Yu heard this, he glared at Yu Ziqi fiercely and slapped the table and angrily scolded: "Yu Ziqi, Yu Ziqi, why do I, Xiang Yu, are you a forceful person? Why do I think your move is like offering a sister to be honored? If you and my brother will not do it in the future!"

"I……"

Yu Ziqi looked embarrassed and his face turned red. He stuttered, "Didn't I... watch your relatives and unmarried wife... worry about you?"

Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said angrily: "There are many people in the world who have not married each other. A real man has not yet achieved his reputation, so how can he get married?"

Yu Ziqi was disappointed and said goodbye: "Okay, I, Yu Ziqi, talk too much. If I mention this matter in the future, I will knock off my front teeth!"

As Yu Ziqi spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself. The force was quite strong and blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Xiang Yu also felt that his tone was a little heavy, and he comforted him: "Brother Yu, I also know that you are doing it for the sake of your own good, and that makes your sister really charming, and Xiang also likes it a little bit. But a real man loves beauty and takes it in a good way. How can he force a woman so much? Everything goes with the flow!"

Yu Ziqi raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.

With the consideration of the future of the two, he became a villain who offered his sister and sought honor. If he was greedy for wealth, wouldn’t he encourage his sister to marry Fang Li and become the uncle of the Tang Kingdom?

Xiang Yu shifted the topic to state affairs and said in a deep voice: "The weather has warmed up. The eight hundred cloud ladders and well railings built for our Great Chu like Gongshu have been completed. I think the army will definitely attack Song within half a month. You and Ji Bu, Zhonglimei must train soldiers well. This time, the attack on Song Dynasty must be successful!"

"I know!" Yu Ziqi's mood improved a little.

Xiang Yu said again: "At noon, Sun Xiao, the military officer under Zhonglimei, recommended two people to me, one was Zhang Dingbian, who is a Chu country. He is now a team leader and said he is brave and good at fighting. The other was Han Xin, who is now a chief, and said he is familiar with military books. If you have time, learn about these two people and see if it is worth reusing?"

Yu Ziqi's nose twitched a few times, moved his cheeks that were numb and swearing, "This Sun Xiao is simply messing around. Did he recommend it casually? I don't know Zhang Dingbian, but Han Xin is a coward and a laughing stock in the army."

"Oh...what do you say this?" Xiang Yu looked surprised, "How come he is a laughing stock?"

Yu Ziqi rubbed his face and said, "This Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin, Wu State, is nearly eight feet tall, and is very tall. When he was in his hometown, he walked between the markets with a sword every day. Later, he was provoked by a butcher, asking Han Xin to either stab him with a sword or drill through his crotch... What do you think?"

"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. A real man will naturally not be humiliated by this crotch!"

Yu Ziqi clapped his hands and said, "Who said it was not? If he was a little bloody, he would beat the butcher even if he didn't wave his sword and slaughter it. As a result, Han Shichang crawled under the butcher's crotch with his sword..."

Xiang Yu was furious and slapped the table with a punch: "I have lost all the face of a man. My Xiang family army doesn't want such a coward! Sun Xiao actually promoted such a coward to be a leader, and recommended it to me. It's really a pity. You go to the military camp immediately, demote Sun Xiao to the chief of the village, and drive a coward like Han Xin out of the camp, so as not to be ridiculed by our Xiang family army."

Yu Ziqi was so angry that he immediately said goodbye to Xiang Yu and rode his horse straight to the military camp affiliated with Xiang Yu. He didn't plan to go home to stay at night. He was so unlucky that he had such an ungrateful girl.

Although Xiang Yu was appointed as the general, he was the most powerful general of Chu State. He directly mobilized as many as 20,000 soldiers, and the military camp was fifteen miles southeast of Yingdu City.

Yu Ziqi came to the military camp tent, and Zhongli Mei happened to be at night. Seeing Zhongli Mei angry, he looked puzzled: "Why are brothers Ziqi angry?"

Yu Ziqi snorted coldly: "Brother Zhongli, what is Sun Xiao under your command? He actually recommended a coward like Han Xin to General Xiang? It made General Xiang furious and caused me to be affected!"

Zhong Limei was confused and spread his arms: "I don't know. Maybe General Xiang asked the middle and lower-level officers to actively recommend talents. This is what Sun Xiaocai recommended!"

Yu Ziqi said angrily: "You are the ones, you have a coward who is burying someone else's crotch and let him do something. No wonder Xiang Yu is angry."

"Is Xiang Ji angry?" Zhong Limei looked honest and honest, "Then let Han Xin take it away!"

Yu Ziqi slapped the table: "General Xiang Zhi ordered Sun Xiao to be the chief of the garrison and drove Han Xin out of the military camp! Our Xiang family army should not be such a coward, so as not to become a laughing stock of the Great Chu and be ridiculed by the entire army!"

Zhonglimei immediately shouted: "Come here, go and call Sun Xiao and Han Xin to the coach's tent!"

In a short while, a chubby military officer and a 8-foot-tall-looking man with a good appearance, a straight facial features, and a sword hanging on his waist walked into the handsome tent one after another, and bowed and bowed together: "The villain Sun Xiao greeted the two generals!"

Yu Ziqi glanced at Han Xin with his hands on his back: "Are you Han Xin?"

Han Xin bowed with his fists and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "The little man is Han Xin!"

"Kneel down!" Yu Ziqi suddenly shouted.
